ello ello 
me and some friends were discussing a concept recently of character trait recognition in others.
apparently, we strongly react to qualities in others, that we ourselves possess...
ie 'if you spot it, you got it'.
its not the first time i've come across this theory.
indeed i've noticed it a lot in recent debates on the forum, in myself and in others.....
anyone else?
